We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Why did we allow ourselves to forget this? The bloodstains of Washington's army have faded away. The price that was paid by those resolute men has long been forgotten.
